Description


Keith Cottingham will exhibit large-scale photographs that depict imaginary architectural interiors and portraits. The photographs, constructed from drawings, wax structures, and a variety of computer techniques, are analogous to the creation of three-dimensional models or maquettes for film work. These models, however, have no material existence; they exist only as visualization. The photographs are not of the model; the model the artist makes is the photograph. Playing with ontological issues, Cottingham presents imagined spaces and characters that psychologically, culturally, and spiritually shape us.
